complete user guide for further information.
SWITCH ON SAFELY
Do not switch the device on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it
may cause interference or danger.
ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST
Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while
driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.
INTERFERENCE
All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect
performance.
SWITCH OFF IN RESTRICTED AREAS
Follow any restrictions. Switch the device off in aircraft, near medical
equipment, fuel, chemicals, or blasting areas.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair this product.
ENHANCEMENTS AND BATTERIES
Use only approved enhancements and batteries. Do not connect incompatible
products.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Your device is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
1. General information
About your device
The wireless device described in this guide (type RM-490) is approved for use on the GSM
850 and 1900 networks. Contact your service provider for more information about networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect local customs, privacy and
legitimate rights of others, including copyrights.
Copyright protection may prevent some images, music, and other content from being
copied, modified, or transferred.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the device
must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless device use may
cause interference or danger.
7
Network services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of the
features require special network features. These features are not available on all networks;
other networks may require that you make specific arrangements with your service provider
before you can use the network services. Your service provider can give you instructions and
explain what charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you
can use network services. For instance, some networks may not support all
language-dependent characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not activated
in your phone. If so, these features will not appear on your phone menu. Your phone may
also have a special configuration such as changes in menu names, menu order, and icons.
Contact your service provider for more information.
Enhancements
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by Nokia for
use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Access codes
The security code helps to protect your phone against unauthorized use. You can create and
change the code, and set the phone to request the code. Keep the code secret and in a safe
place separate from your phone. If you forget the code and your phone is locked, your phone
will require service and additional charges may apply. For more information, contact a Nokia
Care point or your phone dealer.
The PIN code supplied with the SIM card protects the card against unauthorized use. The
PIN2 code supplied with some SIM cards is required to access certain services. If you enter
the PIN or PIN2 code incorrectly three times in succession, you are asked for the PUK or
PUK2 code. If you do not have them, contact your service provider.
The module PIN is required to access the information in the security module of your SIM
card. The signing PIN may be required for the digital signature. The restriction password is
required when using the call restriction service.
To set how your phone uses the access codes and security settings, select Menu > Settings >
Security.

all use the same IM service.
Before you can use IM, you must first register with the instant messaging service you want
to use and obtain a unique ID and password. See “Register with an IM service,” p. 15 for
more information.
Note: Depending on your IM service provider, you may not have access to all of the
features described in this guide and your menus may be different.
To check the availability and costs and to subscribe to the IM service, contact your wireless
service provider and the IM service provider from whom you receive your unique ID,
password, and settings.
While you are logged in and connected to the IM service, you can exit the IM application and
use the other functions of the phone, and the IM session and conversations remain active in
the background.
Register with an IM service

wireless service provider for more information.

You can create a message and optionally attach, for example, a picture. Your phone
automatically changes a text message to a picture message when a file is attached.
19
Text messages
Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer messages
are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters
with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more
space, and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending.
Before you can send any text messages, you must save your message center number. Select
Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message centers > Add center,
enter a name, and the number from the service provider.
Multimedia messages and multimedia plus messages
A multimedia (MMS) message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips. A
multimedia plus message can also contain any other content, even files not supported by
your phone.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display picture messages. The
appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds
this limit the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact
your service provider. You also may download the configuration settings.
